Publisher description
The Business of Engineering is an authoritative, insider s perspective on growing a profitable business in the engineering industry. Featuring CEOs and presidents from leading engineering companies, this book provides a broad yet comprehensive overview of the challenges unique to an industry with ever-evolving technologies, a growing need to expand globally, and an understanding that competition relies heavily on stimulating innovation. From understanding the role of the project manager and assessing a client's business model to forming and developing a project strategy, these leaders discuss the process for meeting client objectives, developing customer loyalty, and maximizing client project analysis and implementation. These top executives offer tips for creating a successful leadership plan, developing marketing methods, growing and increasing revenue, and measuring benchmarks involving reputation, profits, and growth. Additionally, these authors discuss strategies for identifying emerging trends, overcoming challenges, reducing risks, and analyzing the differences between federal and locally funded projects. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the minds powering the engineering industry today, as the experts explore what it takes to build and sustain a successful business within this dynamic industry.
Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
